Monday horse racing summary

I still cannot buy a winner it seems, having found just one winner from my last fifteen bets. Its a consolation that we are simply giving back profit made earlier in the month, but certainly this will mean nothing to anyone joining in the last week or two, and is seeing their bankroll in free-fall. I had just one back-to-win bet today, and it was unplaced.

On the other hand, my lay bets are performing extremely well, and showing more than 30 points profit this month. Today I wanted to oppose Viking Rebel at Ayr. It was his first race in public and you never quite know how a horse will react, so when I saw I could lay bets at even money I was happy to take the risk. He performed well and won the race, but for a single point there was no real damage done. My other two lay bets were successful and I gained 2 points profit overall.

So, at the end of the afternoon I had scored a single point profit, but my back-to-win form remains a major concern for me.
